Medical Examination of Young Persons (Non-Industrial Occupations) Convention, 1946 (No. 78) - New Caledonia

Article 7, paragraph 2(a), of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that there are no specific provisions in the national legislation for the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or any other occupation carried on in the streets or in a public place. The Committee notes from the Government's report that there have been no new developments in this regard.

The Committee asks the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Convention is applied in this respect and to indicate any progress made.
